The Rancho Santa Fe Women's Fund was established in November 2004 as a way for members to join together in meaningful and engaging ways and give back to the greater San Diego community. The power of many women giving together has helped us make a significant impact on community-wide needs with focused collective grant making. We are a donor advised fund* of the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation, are 112 members strong, and have awarded nearly $3 Million dollars in grants to date.
